[Q] My phone freaked out on me?!

My phone froze, so naturally I held down the power button to get the restart option. Then it kept restarting over and over never making it past red eyeball looking screen. So I popped the battery out, waited a while and put it back in to turn back on. Nothing even if I try to charge it..nada, not eve the light on the front that lets you know its charging. Ive read about holding the volume down button + power to do a factory reset...nothing happens...Did I do something wrong or is phone fried?

Can you plug the phone into the computer and the computer recognizes something plugged in??

I've tried to see if it would charge from the computer no luck either. Computer doesn't recognize a device

[Q] Won't boot into anything

Hey,
So I just got this GNex from eBay and it won't boot at all. If I plug it into the wall it will show the battery charging and show it filling up 3 times and then go black. I've tried plugging it into the computer and pulling the battery quickly to get it to boot and nothing. Is there anything I can do to flash/boot into the device or am I stuck relying on the store to do something about it? I've done several searches on the forum and google and I haven't found anything beneficial.
Thanks!

I would say it's dead. Try holding down the power button while holding down the volume up and volume down buttons all at once. If it should vibrate let go of the power button and see if it will enter fast boot. If not send it back.

thats the normal behavior when you plug it in, 3 times filling up then black. then when you press the power button, three times fill up then black. to me it sounds like your power button is broken.

I think power button is broken. Possibly volume keys as well. I'm able to boot if I plug into the PC and then wiggle the battery. There's a lock pattern so I can't get past it but I'm unable to adjust volume or turn the screen off/on. I'm going to bring it to the sprint store tomorrow and say it won't turn on.
Thanks!

Looks like the phone got wet. I can boot it up with the PC as mentioned before but its locked and I don't know the pattern/gmail account. Is there anyway to put a phone into USB debugging without getting into the phone? How about fast boot/recovery/download mode without volume down or power buttons?

G2 no boot, 7 vibrations + blinking red led

Have been researching this topic for a long time and I dont see any solutions other than sending it to the HTC.
Symptoms:
No boot at all (unable to get into recovery , boot menu etc)
When I try to turn the phone on (using power button) I get 7 vibrations and a blinking red led light(sometimes), nothing else. (the screen is dark, the only response from phone is those 7 vibrations and led)
If I try to boot it with power button and volume key , I get the response mentioned above.
If I plug the phone into the computer I dont get ANY response from the computer or from the phone. If I try to plug it into the charger I get 7 vibrations and constant led light.
Battery is good. Had this phone for 2+ years, no water damage, not rooted. Had been factory reset few months ago.
Basically I was walking, wanted to check my time, pulled out my phone from my pocket and it was turned off. Tried booting it and get the symptons above.
EDIT: after I try to boot the phone and experience those symptoms, the phone doesnt respond to anything.
The only way to get 7 vibrations back(excluding led - sometimes it stays on/blinks after vibratons) is to pull the battery out and try to boot it again.
Thanks.

Your stuck trying to get into download mode, possibly have some sticky keys, you can try and clean them up and see if it helps

I get loading cursor for few seconds but nothing more.
EDIT: Im not sure but the loading cursor might be my computer.
Over all I get nothing.
If I plug the phone with the battery into the computer I get 7 vibrations from the phone and an red led light. No reaction from the computer (no new drives found etc).

Sorry to say but I thin its dead, good thing is a new one is cheap nowadays. You could always get a broken one (bad screen and such) and just replace logic boards, probably on ebay for around $50

Do you know what could cause it and what does the vibration code means? Also what should it be doing when I hold down the volume keys and plug it into the computer (without battery)?
Thanks for your help.

This happened to me, I repaired it by cleaning the volume terminals and keyboards. My DZ died on me when I was doing field work and it is hot that day. I guess that some how sweats has sipped its way in the inside of the unit and when it evaporated left the salts causing the keys to short out.

[Q] Help, when I entered download mode on my gt-p5210, it shut off and not reloading

Hello, my gt-p5210 showed an error in red text after entering download mode. It said something about my battery voltage was to low, then it shut off and wouldn't do anything afterwards, no charging screen, no Samsung splash screen, nothing. I plugged it in to AC and there was no sign of it charging. I plugged it into the computer and the computer didn't show any sign it was there
Thanks ahead of time.

thank you, I just tried that but it still would not respond to any thing

Try different charger, different usb cable or leave it for a couple of hours then try again

Is it still possible to revive a Sprint Note 7?

Sorry for the noob question, I've been trying to search everywhere with no luck.
I recently found a Sprint Note 7, and was wondering if I can still revive it.
It's currently at 0%, however, If I plug it in, it shows the battery icon.
If I try to go into download mode, while plugged in, by holding vol -, home, power, it just does a bootloop.
Is it still possible for me to revive this? Maybe a guide somewhere I havent found?
Thanks!

Nice, thanks. What do I need to do?

Hello.
Here are the steps to force the download mode after the kill update :
Connect it to the pc
Volume down, home and power keys for 3 seconds then remove your fingers (3times)
Congratulations you're in download mode now [emoji6]

Im not sure if I understand you correctly.
I connected it to PC, phone vibrates, then shows the battery icon with the lightning bolt, computer does the USB sound, but on device manager it says "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
Anyways, I press and hold Vol- home and power key together for exactly 3 seconds, and nothing happens. I did this up to 10 times, nothing really happens.
Alternatively, I tried holding the buttons till something happens, which is the screen turns black, USB disconnect sound on PC, I release the buttons, phone vibrates and shows the samsung splash screen, then phone vibrates and shows battery icon again. I did this around 10 times as well, but no luck.
Also worth mentioning, I didnt disconnect the usb cable at any point. Am I supposed to?
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Update - It seems I can get it to boot into the the screen before the download mode when plugged into an outlet. However, if I hit Vol+ to go into download mode, it restarts.

A few ideas
I've had largely the same experience with mine. It seems to need an excessive amount of power in order to boot into download mode. I managed to get it into download mode while plugged into a computer by using a y cable to plug it into an outlet first, then swap the one usb input to the pc. However despite my efforts, the pc still would not recognize my phone, and Odin would not acknowledge that it was plugged in.
